Atlus continues its streak of Persona for the PSP with the announcement that they will be publishing Persona 3 Portable for the PSP. While Persona 3 for the PS2 was a huge hit and introduced many people to the Persona series, Persona 3 Portable looks to enhance the original game and add mechanics that were introduced in Persona 4. In addition players will be able to play a new female protagonist.
Hot off the heels of the announcement that Atlus will be publishing 3D Dot Game Heroes comes the launch trailer of the game.

Check out the retro, nostalgia-inducing video after the jump.

In preparation for its November 10th release, Atlus has released a trailer of how to be “Bancho”, which I find kinda funny and definitely piques my interest in this game. Check it out after the jump.
With not so many RPGs on the PS3, Demon’s Soul looks to boost the PS3 game library. Demon’s Soul seems like it is going to be an awesome, yet really hard, RPG. They definitely portray it that way in the following trailer. Enjoy the moving pictures after the jump.
Atlus just posted a walkthrough of their upcoming PSP remake of the original Shin Megami Tensei: Persona. The video shows off the new and improved UI, reworked graphics, all new voice acting, anime cut scenes, and gameplay. It looks like Atlus has learned from Persona 3 and Persona 4 and tweaked the original to streamline the gameplay in this remake.
The next game I will be looking at (in at least two parts) is Knights in the Nightmare, developed by Sting Entertainment and published by the good people at Atlus for the Nintendo DS. The game is an innovative cross between strategy RPGs like Disgaea and a shmup. The resulting hybrid is something unique that one can say has never been done before, which is very unique in this day and age. I was anxious to pop this little gem into my DS.
